CASE-ing Christmas #12: Pat

Tell me it isn't true! Is it Friday already?! I guess it's time to welcome you to another lap of CASE-ing Christmas- a weekly challenge devoted to the holiday season all year 'round. Today we're starting Challenge #12.

Here's how you play along. Each week you'll be given you a card to CASE and ... you CASE it! It's as easy as that. If you've never CASEd a card before, here's how you do it:

Look at the photo of the card to CASE;

Be inspired by some elements of the card - the colours, layout, image, embellishments, etc

And that's all there is to it. Our CASE card this week is this gorgeous creation by Pat. Lots of ideas here and I can't wait to see how this project inspires you.

This week's card posed a bit of a problem for me. I wanted to make a quick card. And (foolishly) I attempted a CAS. Should've known better! I did not like the look of it... not one bit. After cannibalising my disastrous first attempt and sending the remains to the recycling bin, I gave new life to the snow globe in this new and improved (?) version:

The papers are from Basic Grey's Life Of The Party 6x6 pad. The stamps are by Clearly Besotted. The little guy in the snow globe is supposed to be a snowman, but I stamped him on kraft CS and turned him into a teddybear. His accessories are paper-pieced from scraps. The sentiment is stamped directly onto the patterned paper with VersaFine Crimson Red.

To fill the snow globe, I first stamped little circles with VersaMagic Sea Breeze. That wasn't enough... so I threw in some TH Distress Glitter Rock Candy. Still looking empty, I added added little blobs of Baby Blue Liquid Pearls. Now do you believe me when I say I don't / can't do CAS?!

What a fab CASE Asha. I think he rather looks like a gingerbread man. Love the texture you have achieved in the snow globe and what a brave woman...stamping direct to paper, I always mess up spectacularly so don't bother!! A brilliant card!! xx

Hi Asha! How nice to see you at Kraftin' Kimmie this week for Wonderful Wednesday. You know how I LOVE non-traditional colored Christmas cards and this one is just adorable!!! Great job on the CASE. Thanks for joining us at KK!

This is adorable Asha! He is such a cutie. So are you going to enter the Time Out CAS challenge that is on at the moment?? Go on, give it a go, let's see a Asha CAS card. And by the way my card for Fusion did take a lot more than 5 mind but less than an hour!!

About Me

I live near the sea in Portugal, with my sweet hubby. We have 3 loving furbabies - Peanut, a Doxie-Podengo rescue, Charlie, a yellow Lab rescue and Richard Parker, an all-black boy-cat. Over the years we've lost members of our furry family: André (14), Rosie (13), Snoopy (9), Turtle Joe (27) and Xiara (13). God speaks when tails wag and hearts purr... and how richly He has blessed us!
